Today is 11/8/2015
Today dawns on the bones of yesterday.
Other than be swept away by regret,

Accomplish what you may, but don’t forget
Your reprieve ends with sunset. Accounting
Is closed with the coming of night. When sleep
Slides shut this day, do no more adjusting.
1 line per day until its filled and keep

8th this day of November is here ranked.
2 for the thousand years history spilled.
0 hours left to change what today banks.
1 because that’s where it all started. With
5 we have the beginning of a myth.
